This made the team boss very depressed and sighed in his heart: I took you to win the championship, but you snatched my FMVP! The following 6 people are typical cases of snatching away the boss FMVP.

Paul Pierce: On the night of the Celtics' championship, Garnett became a "sacrilege"

2007-08 season, the Celtics achieved an epic transformation from 24 to 66 wins with Garnett's joining. Garnett won DPOY with his performance of offense and defense and was selected for the Double First Team, and was the well-deserved leader of the Celtics.

In the finals, Garnett averaged 18.2 points and 13 rebounds per game, suppressing Gasol to only 13.2 points, but FMVP unexpectedly belonged to Pierce, who averaged 21.8 points per game. Although Pierce's "Return of the King" drama after being injured in G1 has earned a lot of feelings, Garnett's defensive dominance is obviously underestimated, and it is still difficult for KG fans to satisfy their wishes.

Iguodala: Curry became the "uncrowned King" in his first championship

Curry won the MVP with his phenomenal performance in the 14-15 season and was selected for the first team. He was the "popular chicken in the league that season! In 22 playoffs, Curry averaged 28.3 points, 5 rebounds and 6.4 assists, with a three-point shooting percentage of 42%, and averaging 4.7 3 points per game, which is unmatched.

The judges even believed that Iguodala was the key figure in reversing the trend of the series. This decision made Curry the first player to average 25+5+5 in the finals but missed the FMVP, and the controversy has not yet disappeared.

Durant: The "outside reaper" of the Warriors dynasty

16-17 season, Durant Joining the Golden State Warriors, Curry and the Warriors were at their peak during this period. In order to allow Durant to get more ball rights, Curry took the initiative to sacrifice his ball rights. Even so, Curry still scored 25.3 points, 4.5 rebounds and 6.6 assists in the regular season, with a 3-point shooting percentage of 40%, and averaging 4.3 3 points per game! Durant averaged 25.1 points, 8.3 rebounds and 4.8 assists per game. Curry performed very well in the playoffs, averaging 28.1 points, 6.2 rebounds and 6.7 assists per game, and 42% of the three-point shooting percentage. Durant averaged 28.5 points per game in the playoffs. In the finals, Curry averaged Both contributed 26.8 points and 9.4 assists in a comprehensive performance, but Durant was completely "stolen" by the series. The latter beat the Cavaliers' defense with a terrifying efficiency of 35.2 points and 8.2 rebounds, especially the G3's "killing and heart-breaking" quasi-killing three-pointer, completely locking in the FMVP. Although Curry is the soul of the Warriors system and has made great sacrifices for Durant's joining, Durant's talent crushing made it difficult for the judges to ignore, and Curry missed the FMVP again. However, after Curry led the team alone in the 21-22 season, he won the FMVP award without any suspense. Make up for this shortcoming.

Jeren Brown: The new Celtics ascended the throne, Tatum was sad,

2023-24 season, the Celtics entered the finals with a record of 64 wins and 18 losses. Tatum averaged 26.9 points, 8.1 rebounds and 4.9 assists per game in the regular season, making him the Celtics' unrivaled star. In the finals, Jaylen Brown, the second in command, became the key player, not only contributed comprehensive data averaging 20.8 points, 5.4 rebounds and 5.0 assists per game, but also suffocated Doncic on the defensive end Defensive and played the highlights of the Saviors many times in the final quarter. On the other hand, Tatum, although the data is more gorgeous (22.2 points, 7.8 rebounds, 7.2 assists), its efficiency is average, and stealth at critical moments also affected the judges' evaluation of him. In the end, Brown was elected FMVP with 7 votes! However, some media believe that Tatum's status and role in the team are better than Jaylen Brown. It is Tatum's attraction to double-team that allows Jaylen Brown to perform better!

Magic Johnson: The rookie "stole" the Throne of Tiangou

1980 In the 19th finals, Jabbar scored 33.4 points, 13.6 rebounds and 4.6 blocks with injury, but was absent from G6 due to injury. The rookie Magic was ordered to play a guest center in the face of danger, scoring 42 points, 15 rebounds and 7 assists to lead the team to win the championship. Although Jabbar is a hero of the Lakers' finals and is also the absolute core of the team system, the judges were conquered by the Magic's magical performance and finally awarded the FMVP to the 20-year-old newbie.

Tony Parker

2007 Finals, Duncan averaged 18.3 points, 11.5 rebounds per game. Punching the axis of the attack and defense, but Parker became the "Cavs Killer" with 24.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 3.3 assists. He tore the opponent's defense with speed, with a shooting percentage of 56.8%, and finally snatched the FMVP from the low-key Duncan, which also became a typical case of assisting the team's boss FMVP.

Some people say that the selection of FMVP often focuses on "the key figure who turns the situation around" rather than a simple data competition. Iguodala's defensive value, the Magic's rescue performance, and Durant's death performance all reflect this criterion. But it is undeniable that this "result-oriented" judgment often ignores the overall contribution of the star in the regular season and the playoffs, which is also a pity. And this is exactly the charm of the NBA - it is both a stage for superstars and a arena for small characters to counterattack.
